In every cell ribonucleotides represent a threat to the stability and transmission of the DNA genome. Two types of Ribonuclease H (RNase H) tackle such ribonucleotides, either by excision when they form part of the DNA strand, or by hydrolysing RNA when it base-pairs with DNA, in structures termed R-loops. Loss of either RNase H is lethal in mammals, whereas yeast can prosper in the absence of both enzymes. Removal of RNase H1 is tolerated by the parasiteTrypanosoma bruceibut no work has examined the function of RNase H2. Here we show that loss of the catalytic subunit ofT. bruceiRNase H2 (TbRH2A) leads to growth and cell cycle arrest that is concomitant with accumulation of nuclear damage at sites of RNA polymerase (Pol) II transcription initiation, revealing a novel and critical role for RNase H2. In addition, differential gene expression of both RNA Pol I and II transcribed genes occurs after TbRH2A loss, including patterns that may relate to cytosolic DNA accumulation in humans with autoimmune disease. Finally, we show that TbRH2A loss causes R-loop and DNA damage accumulation in telomeric RNA Pol I transcription sites, leading to altered variant surface glycoprotein expression. Thus, we demonstrate a separation of function between the two nuclearT. bruceiRNase H enzymes during RNA Pol II transcription, but overlap in function during RNA Pol I-mediated gene expression during host immune evasion.
